Hello Cricri,
Nothing worse than being confined indoors on your holidays. Still, you managed to grab this shot which I find very attractive and atmospheric. I like the panoramic framing and the low light and muted tones.

Hi Christiane
I think there is something gently appealing about this lovely winter wonderland, picture from a fairytale book! Fab snowscape and distance fog, and there is so much snow piled up nicely composed with the trees filling across the frame providing a contrast in colour. The backdrop of muted sky works a treat here with some nice warm tones to break up the white & grey making the image stand out beautifully. Superb capture, Tfs
Best regards

Hi Christiane
yes, sometimes having less light is more beneficial to the scene - just as you do here.
I really like how the trees in the fg appear dark, it just seems to go so well with the theme.
the mountains in the bg are a great way to complete the scene.
its a winning shot for me!
cheers

Bonjour Cricri,
I like very much the layers of elements that structure a very deep and lovely view. There's marvelous clarity and peacefulness, suggestive atmosphere and mystery in the middle. I love the silvery tones and the way the distant light stands out in this freezing ambiance. The light is spectacular but doesn't seem to affect the landscape. At least you could enjoy this magnificent view while you were blocked in your chalet and your neighbours were quite charming:) Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a lovely weekend,
Ourania

Bonsoir Christiane,
Almost B&W texture to the grey afternoon over the landscape, with the sun already down beyond the mountains, add last rays to color the scene. Excelent show the snow and clouds over the trees and ridges.
The WS is charming with the bird and squirrel as neighbours.
Tres joli, bonsoire'e,
Ike

Hello Christiane,
Beautiful winter landscape shot. Truly spectacular, I love it. Had it not been for the sky colours I would thought this to be in monochrome. Top class image. Thanks for sharing.

Christiane,
this is stunning picture with great mountain panorama. Superbly chosen POV and multilayered composition have given fantastic result. The mountains in the background are still very much in focus and the DOF is perfect.
Well done

Bonjour Christiane,
Excellent winter mountains landscape photo. I like the arrangement with the trees in foreground and the majestic mountains in BG. Nice light and well balanced (almost mono) colors.
Very well done.

Hi Christiane.
The stunning beauty of this landscape, with superb view that extends from the lovely group of fir trees in the foreground, to the peaks in the distance, all with an impressive amount of snow, gives us a picture of most of the beauties providing winter.
A colorful perfect very natural.
A bright image with optimum clarity.
Well done. I love it.
Enjoy the weekend.
Best wishes.

Good evening.
A good article on the place and time, nice view ...
Good time recording, sharpness, contrast and perspective, nice place shown with snow and the moment of sunset, beautiful colors.
Good composition, well captured moment.
Good evening and all the best for the weekend, good luck.

Ahaha, loved the notes and WS picture! :) The squirrel looks like it was chased with a hair dryer, and the red bird really "pops" with color against the white snow.

This main post has and underlying beauty of warmth as the sun tries to sneak through the clouds before giving way to the evening. There's not much worse than being unavoidably stuck somewhere, even in the nicest conditions the feeling of lost liberty will drive anyone crazy at some point. You sure made the best use of it though to capture a scene like this, incredibly enticing! A strong sensation of being deep into nature, and even rising above the clouds for a more impressive height. A fine time to cozy up inside and enjoy a hot beverage in front of the fireplace. I'm sure your "neighbors" were more than pleased to have around for the entire day. :)) Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Be well, and warm my friend.

namaste Christiane,
a great composition here with a fine look of winter landscape from mountains. Love the sharpness of the image with great depth. Love the colour tint in sky in such black and white surrounding. Excellent presentation. Tfs.
